Parse Model Factory

Intro

Parse Model Factory is an addon to parse-server. It provides a lot of basic queries so you can centralize all of your queries in one place. This addon is amazing when you don't want query.find() all over your project. You can have clean models with just a few lines of code:

const ModelFactory = require('parse-model-factory');
const MyModel = ModelFactory.generate('MyModel');
MyModel.theQueryYouHave1000times = function() {
    const query = this._query();
    // all of your logic
    return this._find(query, ['include1', 'include2'], 200);
}
module.exports = MyModel;

As you can see, we get the query from the model factory and we call _find with our complex query, an array of includes and the limit.

No more query.include().include().include() ❤️

Getting Started

Running model factory

Locally

$ npm install parse-model-factory

Creating your first model

The only thing you should do is requiring the module and call the generate function

const ModelFactory = require('parse-model-factory');
 
const modelProperties = {
    defaultIncludes: ['prop1', 'prop2']
};
 
const objectProperties = {
    toStringCustom: function() {
 	     const prop = this.get('prop');
 	     return `Your prop is ${prop}`;
    }
};
 
const MyModel = ModelFactory.generate('MyModel', modelProperties, objectProperties);
 

Now you should be able to do:

const query = MyModel._query();
query.doesNotExist('property');
 
MyModel._find(query, MyModel.defaultIncludes, 10)
    .then(result => result.map(obj => console.log(obj.toStringCustom())))
    .catch(error => console.log(error));

Object Methods index

• object.customFetch() -> Will fetch the object with the master key
• object.saveMasterKey() -> Will save the object with the master key
• object.destroyMasterKey() -> Will destroy the object with the master key
• object.setAcl(force = false, func, ...args)
  • force : if false will set the acl only when the object is new
  • func : method you want to set public | private | read | write | user

const object = new TestObject();
object.setAcl(false, 'public', true, false);
// == setPublicReadAccess(true) && setPublicWriteAccess(false)
 
object.setAcl(false, 'private', [user], [user]);
// == setReadAccess(user) && setWriteAccess(user)
 
object.setAcl(false, 'read', user1, user2, ...);
// == setReadAccess(user1) && setReadAccess(user2) && setPublicWriteAccess(false)
 
object.setAcl(false, 'write', user1, user2, ...);
// == setWriteAccess(user1) && setWriteAccess(user2) && setPublicReadAccess(true)
 
object.setAcl(false, 'user', user);
// == setReadAccess(user) && setWriteAccess(user)
 

Queries Methods index

• Model._query()

Methods with master key

• Model._find(query, includes = [], limit = 5000, skip = 0)
• Model._get(query, objectId, includes = [])
• Model._each(query, includes = [], callback)
• Model._count(query)
• Model._first(query, includes = [])
• Model.save(object, params = null)
• Model.saveAll(objects)
• Model.destroy(object)
• Model.destroyAll(objects)

Methods without master key

• Model._findRegular(query, includes = [], limit = 5000, skip = 0, option = {})
• Model._getRegular(query, objectId, includes = [], option = {})
• Model._countRegular(query, option = {})
• Model._firstRegular(query, includes = [], option = {})

const query = MyModel._query();
query.doesNotExist('property');
 
const session = { sessionToken: req.user.getSessionToken() };
 
const result = await MyModel._findRegular(query, MyModel.defaultIncludes, 10, 10, session);
